MANAGING A FIRE.

Matters Obliging Study on the Part OF
Cooks and Housekeepers.
Lift the front top of the stove, and
on the grating below lay a crumpled
not folded-newspaper. The i'm
possibility of the air having free cur
rent through the layers of a closely
folded paper causes it to shoulder in
stead of burning brightly. Over the
paper heap the kindling, placing the
sticks in an irregular fashion, that
here, too, the air may have free play.
Open the dralghts, touch a match to
the paper. and as soon as it and the
kindlings are fairly ignited pour on
about half hodful of coal. Do not
wait to do this until the wood is all
ablaze. In that case there is often not
heat enough to kindle the coal. so that
the whole fire goes out and the stove
has to be emptied and the work begun
all over again. Before putting on the
covers brush into the fire all the bits
of wood or coal that have been left on
the top OF the stove. The amount of
coal that has been put on should be
sufficiently kindled by the end of half
an hour to allow of having little
more added. There is no sense or
economy in having the stove filed up
to the lids, nor should these be allowed
TO become red hot. When the fire is
fairly under way, the draughts may be
closed and the heat thrown into the
ovens. The draughts of stove form

It's own idiosyncrasies, so thatkno fixed

Another matter obliging study is the
amount of coal required by range.
This varies not only according to the
size of the stove, but also depends
largely upon the draughts and the
cook. An ordinary good-sized range
for ordinary service should not need
more than two good hodfuls of coal per
diem. On ironing day hotter fire is
necessary, and three scuttlefulS will
probably be the minimum Constant

An Anxious Peanut Eater,

A citizen of Bagdad, Fla, passing
through neighbours peanut-field,
helped himself to some nuts that he
found here and there laid on the top of
stumps. After he had eaten his fill it
occurred TO him that the nuts might
have been poisoned and put on the
stumps to kill crows; and then he was
sure that he felt the poison stealing
through his system. He hurried home
ana sent messenger to the owner of
the peanuts to ask if they were poison
co. and while waiting for an answer
drank melted lard as an antidote for
the poison. He had swallowed nearly
a gallon, and was indeed feeling badly
when the messenger returned with tbo
information that the peanuts were ali

WASHING AND IRONING,
Two Household Duties Which Should BE
Studied by Every HOusekeeper

Two Household Duties Which Should Be
Studied by Every Housekeeper.
There is no department of household
labor that requires closer supervision
than washing and ironing, and while
it is not necessary or advisable for
every housekeeper to do the work her.
self, it is very important that she
should know how to do it in order to
direct others.
To wash properly, it is important to
have every thing in readiness, and all
the utensils in order for the work.
Tubs sufficient in number and of suffi-
Gent size should be furnished, and
kept clean, the washboard should be
smooth and free from nails, and the
work bench firm and high to prevent
fatigue from bending.
The clothes line and pins should be
put in basket or bag for safe keep.

wire line.
Soft water is better than hard
water for washing and rain water
preferable to any other. When-eve
thing is in readiness for the work, as
sort the clothes, separate the fine
from the coarse, and the slightly
soiled from the more soiled. Hot suds
will set stains, and it is therefore best
to scald all of the table linen, and ar
ticles which are stained, by pouring
boiling water from the tea kettle on
them.
Have the water in the tubs as warm
as the hand will bear, being careful
not to have it too hot Wash first one
boilerful, taking through two suds,
then place in a boiler of cold water
with soap to make suds. A little
borax added to the water will whiten
the clothes, without injuring the text
ure of linen. Clothes should never
boil over five minutes, and many ex-
cellent laundresses do not boil them
at all, but pour boiling water over
them. After they are removed to the
tubs, cold water should be poured
over them, and every garment turned
wrong side out, and thorough !
ly washed, and rinsed, in a
tub of clear soft water. Then
in blue water. from which
they should be wrung out for the last
time; those not to be starched should
be hung out Immediately, and the
others dipped in starch as hot as the
hands will bear. Those desired to be /
very stiff should be starched first, and
well shaken before hanging on the line
to prevent wrinkling.
When dry remove to the clothes
basket. Turn all garments right side
out, shake well, pull smoothly, begin
ming at the top of the garment, roll 4
each to itself; fold sheets without
sprinkling, after stretching, and lay on
top, over all spread the ironing
blanket
If a machine is used in washing, it is
better to soak the clothes over night
in warm water. Some housekeepers
use washing fluids, and if the ingredi-
ents are harmless. they tighten the
labor without destroying the fabric.
The following are among the best
fluids: To five quarts of water put one
pound of salsoda, half a pound of I'M
Stacked lime and a small lump of
borax. Boil, when cold pour off and

boiler of clothes. -EJizq PeakeS, in

BARNARD MANURE.
Valuable Tables and Statistics for the Use
of Farmers.

Valuable Tables and Statistics for the Use
of Farmers.
The amount of manure which an an
imal will drop, and which can be
saved and used for fertilizing pur-
poses, will, of course, vary with the
size of the animal and the amount of
food eaten. 1t will vary in weight
from one-half to two-thirds of the
weight of food and water consumed
and bedding used. If all the liquids
and solids are saved, a liberal estimate
would be $50 10 US pounds daily for
an averaged-sized COW or OK. This, of
course, means their weight just as they
are voided. Practically, however, a
large per cent. of the droppings is al
lowed to go to waste, and quite gen.
orally all the urine is lost
How much the loss is may be in
terred by the following table, giving

EDITOR HERALD: Dear Sir: Your
valuable paper comes to hand regularly
and like the burst of sunshine on dark

Since coming out here have rambled
around over this Territory considerable,
and from what have seen of it conclude
that it is a very good part of the union
to tie to.
The resources of the country are COM
para6vely undeyeloped and there are
many opportunities open to an enter
prising man. Any person with energy
and grit can soon place himself on a
sound financial basis. Not that have
made fortune yet, but like everybody
else here, II am just about to" Ranch
ing, stock raising and mining are the
principal industries, the latter predomi-
mating.
The mineral resources Of the Terrific
ry are as yet comparatively undeveloped,
still the number of men employed, the
amount of capital invested and the out
put are enormous even now. Within
the past year capitalists from all over
the world have come here seeking OPP
portunities for investment, and few
have gone away disappointed.
The mining industry has taken con-
siderable of boom. Many mines have
been bought and developed, reduction
works put up on them and railroads built
to facilitate the handling of their pro-
auctions. Within the past few weeks a
mining lead has been consummated
about twenty miles from here, in which
millions have changed hands. A branch
from the n p 'R. r., sixty miles away,
is being built to these mines and the
erection of an extensive reduction plant
will be Immediately begun, have con-
nected myself with this ennobling and
fortune making industry, and expect in
the no distant future to draw out of it
with something less than a million.
